 Some way down Knockturn Alley at number 13B lies Borgin & Burkes, the most notorious of the alley's shops, which specializes in "objects with unusual and powerful properties", and particularly items that are both "unusual and ancient". The shop is quite large, dusty, and dimly lit, with a large stone fireplace, and is known to be frequented by families like the Malfoys. |

Chris hesitated outside the grimy shop window. He looked up at the name over the shop - Borgin & Burke's. He'd heard of this place! It was supposed to have all kinds of cool stuff in it. He frowned slightly - he knew he wasn't supposed to be on Knockturn Alley, certainly not in any of the shops... but surely if he just looked - and didn't even touch anything.
Making up his mind, he pushed open the door and walked in, glancing around curiously. The sound of voices caught his ear, and he looked up, wondering why one of the voices seemed familiar. Several cloaked figures were bending over something on the counter. Chris frowned. Surely that was - but it couldn't be, could it? Why would the headmistress of Hogwarts be shopping here?

Borgin had finally found what she'd wanted. What she needed. She was in a whispered conversation, no arguement more like. They were arguing over the neccessity of such a potion. One that would make her amost invincible for a day. Just enough time to get through the battle they were planning. She knew this would have been easier to do by herself. But, they had insisted she needed protection. Like anyone could hurt her anyway.
"Shut up. I'm resolved on this. That is my final word. Got anything else to say?" she whispered darkly. "Say it, and I will personally make sure you do not see another dawn." The men backed off slightly and were silent. In the quiet, she heard movement. Her head flung around, and her eyes widened. Why did the kid look familiar?!
s**t!
He was one of her students. Marquez if she remembered correctly. Gryffindor. Why in the world was he here?! She groaned.
"Shall I?" one of her companions hissed.
She shook her head. "No. Leave him," she hissed back. They were litereally hissing at each other. Parseltongue.
She turned back to Borgin, who looked utterly frightened of what might happen in his shop. The death of an innocent? More than likely. Just so Kildara could hide herself. Kildara handed over some coins and stuffed the potion in her robes. Maybe there would be enough in there to give to Caeleb as well. Then, they'd have no worries. She turned back to face the boy, lowering her hood.
"Mr Marquez. What a surprise to see you here. A boy of your age, and - uh - status shouldn't be around these parts," she addressed him, the silky tone back in place. Her piercing eyes, with were devoid of colour from her earlier excitement, bore into his.

Chris gazed, horrified at Professor Snape. It looked like she'd completed some sort of deal, and then, when she saw him, she started talking in Parseltongue. Chris started to back towards the door. "I - I'm sorry - I came here by mistake. I'll go, I won't say anything..."
The headmistress stared at him, and Chris froze, hypnotized by her eyes...

Kildara shook her head, not taking her gaze from Chris'. "I'm very sorry Chris. I can't let you leave. You might not mean to say anything, but, someone'll get it out of you. These are dangerous times, Christopher," she said, walking up to him, backing him into a corner. She leant down to whisper in his ear. "I'm very sorry," she muttered. Her hand rested on his chest over his heart, then she muttered some very deadly words. Her hand glowed green. Chris crumpled to the floor.
Kildara stepped back, turning to the others. They were staring at her in shock. She hissed at them in Parseltongue. "Get rid of his body." Then she left, her black cloak billowing out behind her.

Chris started to back away; he tried to look away from Professor Snape but her gaze held him like a snake. When she said she was sorry, he gulped, tried to say something, as she put her hand on his chest. She began to speak.... ********************* |
